BioWare Licenses More MMO Tech

Shacknews seems to think it’s a PR stunt more than anything else, but at least we know BioWare is hard at work for their MMO.

Though BioWare Austin has yet to formally reveal much of its forthcoming MMO–heavily rumored to be set in the Star Wars: Knights of Old Republic universe–the company seems intent on reminding the gaming public of the project through constant announcements of licensed technologies.

The latest addition to BioWare Austin’s ever-increasing stable of licensed tech is Audiokinetic’s Wwise, which the provider describes as an “audio solution” suite.

“We wanted a complete authoring environment that would facilitate the development of a rich audio experience, and we’ve found Wwise to be a great fit,” said BioWare Austin co-studio director Gordon Walton.

“Over the time, our online game will evolve and so will our needs,” he continued. “We see Audiokinetic as a excellent partner who has the capability to bring us more tools in the future that will help us create an unrivalled gaming experience.”
